                          Eid Shuja (Eid e Zahra A.S)

9th of Rabi-ul-Awwal is the day of glory, honour, dignity and blessings . It is a great eid day named "Eid-e-Shuja" and "Eid-e-Zahra (A.S). many hadith have been reported in its merit (fazeelat). This is the day when Ahle Bayt-e-Rasool (peace of Allah be upon them) brought their soag( mourning ) to an end as Hazrat Mukhtar Saqafi (blessings of Allah be upon him) took the revenge from Qatlaan-e-Imam Hussain (A.S) by killing them all in the same manner as they did, and then he sent the heads of Qatlaan-e- Imam Hussain (A.S) {(the murderers of Imam Hussain) including ibne ziyad and umer bin sa'ad umer bin sa'ad was the 1st to shoot the arrow towards khayaam-e-Hussaini (Hussaini camps) and then proudly said: "Be witness that me the 1st to shoot the arrow."} to Beemaar-e-Karbala Hazrat Imam Zain-ul- Abedeen (A.S) who then paid sajda-e- shukr (thanking prostration) to Allah and said "thanks for Allah , for He took revenge from our enemies" and prayed for Hazrat mukhtar (blessings of Allah be upon him) in these words: "Allah will reward mukhtar good" (Bahar-ul-Anwaar vol: 45, Jame- ur- Ruwaat vol:02)

As Hazrat Imam Hasan Askari (A.S) was martyred on 8th of Rabi-ul- Awwal, so 9th of Rabi-ul-Awwal is the 1st day of Hazrat Imam mehdi, Saheb-al-Asr-e-Wazzaman's (Ajja lallahu farajahu) Imamate. And due to this, this day achieves more heights ofhonour, glory and excellence. He, Imam-e-Zamana Ajja lallahu farajahu was born in the night of sha'baan 15 (the night between 14th and 15th of sha'baan ) in the city of samra in Iraq in the year 225 A.H. He is the Imam of our era and Hadith of Holy Prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his progeny) goes:

"One who dies without knowing the Imam of his time, dies a death of ignorance (jahalat). Hazrat Imam Mehdi, al-Qa'em, saheb-al-asre wazzaman (Ajja lallahu ta'ala farajahu ) is our Imam, Imam of our era and as the verse 71 of sura Bani Israel says:

"(Remember) The day (of judgement) when we shall call every people with their Imam". We will be called and presented with our Imam on resurrection day.

Friends of Muhammad and Aale Muhammad (peace of Allah be upon them) should celebrate this day with great happiness.
